You should contact the universities directly about your qualifications & degree. However, if you think that your english is not good enough to take the GAMSAT exam, how do you think you will cope with the course as all the teaching + examinations are done in english. The GAMSAT is an admissions test and cannot be substituted by another course / certification in most cases. (Some universities will accept the UKCAT instead)

thanks for reply, my english is not that bad, i have scored 7 out of 9 in ielts, which is a high level and accepted by all uni, but they said the section one gamsat is not todays english ,it is the poem ,or it is things that non academic native speaker even can not understand them , thanks

Woooo international applicants! I can't believe it's been like 4 years since I applied. Doesn't feel that long ago. Anyways if anyone has any questions for me then send me a personal message. Little bit about me: I'm from Canada and went straight from high-school to medical school. I'm heading into 4th year of medicine so I'll be good at answering questions about how's it like to be an international student in uni/studying medicine and future job worries and so on.
